I have no idea about OneNote and Evernote, but have you checked out things like Osmo, Treepad, and even Treesheets?_________________DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS

Osmo is actually a "personal information manager" which includes a note-taking module. It stores its information in xml and I thought it was often included in Puppy these days.
Treesheets is a fantastic thing that is kind of like a cross between a spreadsheet and an outliner: "the ultimate replacement for spreadsheets, mind mappers, outliners, PIMs, text editors and small databases". It appears to use its own binary format, but since the software is open I guess you could call the file format open too.
Treepad is a proprietary outliner (with a freeware version) - I don't know how open its format is, but there is other software like Jreepad which is compatible with it.
I was just throwing in some different ideas - there seem to be hundreds of programs out for note taking or similar things like outlining, and I don't know what you actually want the software to do, or what you want to be able to do to the files._________________DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS

Try it and see. If you had a quick look at the screenshot it might have tricked you into thinking it is just a slightly different ui for similar features like calendaring and what is essentially traditional word processing and whatnot. It doesn't have any of these features. All it has is a hierarchical grid: every file has one cell and you can nest other cells in it. And other cells in them, etc. It might be hard to appreciate without trying it..._________________DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS

I'm having fun with TreeSheets and learning a bit how to use it. The ability to shrink a cell to a minimum size or fold it completely is a fantastic feature. Another interesting program is Literary Machine (runs under WINE). But, it is quite complex and I finally gave up on using it. I spent more time thinking about how to enter data than I did about the data itself. TreeSheets lets you just 'throw the data in' and then you can shuffle it around later._________________Puppy 528 & 571, Full Install

Just had a quick read about treesheets - it reminded me that I have often wanted some form of notetaker that would allow me to make a list (eg like a ToDo list) and have the ability to highlight one line (item), rightclick it, and say "send to top of list".

This would allow me to throw away all the "post-it" notes I have on the fridge door, add items to my computerised list so they don't get forgotten, then review it daily and send critical items up to the top of the list as required.
